Well, if it's been discussed with Prince, then feel free to disregard my summary like a prom night dumpster baby.

As far as it being 64 individual attacks, not everyone is concerned with "Well, I could counter every little detail" and are more focused on the cinematic feel of an RP and combat scenes, preferring it flow more like a TV show or Movie, rather than a Turn-Based Strategy Game where you can react to everything. I'm among those who prefer that cinematic feel, so I can understand where some players would take jutsu such as the 64 Palms.
